IRON EAGLE (1986) - Couch Potato Theater: Fandom Podcast Network Classics
Listen: Couch Potato Theater Audio Podcast Link:
https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/couch-potato-theater
Welcome to Couch Potato Theater: 'Fandom Podcast Network Classics', where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network!
We're re-releasing IRON EAGLE (1986), Couch Potato Theater. Originally recorded in 2019. Your Couch Potato Theater co-hosts and Fandom Podcast Network founders Kevin & Kyle are joined by guests Amy Nelson & Hayley Stoddart, our co-hosts from our Union Federation Star Trek & The Orville podcast. Sit back and relax on the couch and enjoy this special re-release presentation of IRON EAGLE (1986) - Couch Potato Theater. Iron Eagle is a 1986 action film directed by Sidney J. Furie who co-wrote the screenplay with Kevin Alyn Elders, and starring Jason Gedrick and Louis Gossett Jr.
Plot:
When Doug's father, an Air Force Pilot, is shot down by MiGs belonging to a radical Middle Eastern state, no one seems able to get him out. Doug finds Chappy, an Air Force Colonel who is intrigued by the idea of sending in two fighters piloted by himself and Doug to rescue Doug's father after bombing the MiG base. Their only problems: Borrowing two fighters, getting them from California to the Mediteranean without anyone noticing, and Doug's inability to hit anything unless he has music playing. Then come the minor problems of the state's air defenses.
